Glitches (Revision 1242)

(Credit to YouTube user GekkouKitsune) Walk along the left side of the platform where you encounter Jabu-Jabu as a kid. Start to walk on the ice on the most left side. There is a very specific spot where you can walk where Adult Link will "fall" in to Jabu-Jabu's belly. You can go through the entire dungeon and even make it to the boss room at the end. When you go into the light circle at the end, you'll end up back on the ice, still in the future.

There is a trick to getting the heart piece above Dodongo's Cavern as a child (way earlier than intended). First, go up to the bomb flower that you used to open the cavern. Toss it out of the way. Stand in the small square where the bomb flower is, and stand in the lower left corner of the square (the corner of the fence along the ridge. You should be facing down the mountain away from Goron City). L-Target and proceed to push A and Down on the slide pad to backflip over the short fence. If you did this correctly, you will backflip over the fence and land on the area above the cavern. Turn around and walk up to claim your prize! Or, you can just go as far right up there where the bomb flower is and jump toward it....

Note: It helps get rid of the bomb flower, otherwise you will L-Target it and the backflip MAY not work -- but you can backflip around it if you don't have the ability to pick them yet.

Another way, instead of waiting is to get on top of the lookout tower, face to the south, Z-target, and side jump to the left. This will cause you to land on top of the fence, which you can then use to climb up. You can do this to get this Piece of Heart WAY early. Be careful because if you perform this incorrectly you might lose some heath.

There is a little cheat in the game that you can do to let you use the Lens of Truth without any loss in the magic meter. First play the Song of Storms on your ocarina, and immediately use your Lens of Truth at the very first moment you can after you play the song. If done right, you won't have to worry about magic consumption, and can use the lens for long periods of time. (Credit goes to MyIGN member shrash)

After you finish the Biggoron's Sword sidequest, you will have a square gray item next to he bottlesin your inventory called the Claim Check. After you use it to claim the Biggoron's Sword, there is nothing else it can be used for in the game. Luckily, there is a glitch to turn it into something useful.

During your travels, find something that can be picked up with a bottle, likea fairy. Walk up to your target and swing your bottle. Just as Link is about to swing, go to your Inventory Screen and switch out the bottle for the Claim Check. When you leave your inventory, Link will continue swinging the bottle and the now-full bottle will be in the slot the Claim Check used to occupy. This can technically be done with any object, but if it is an object you might need later this can potentially be game-breaking. Also, any fairies caught in this bottle will not revive you when you die, but can still be used manually.

First, as Adult Link, equip Biggoron's sword. then, get on Epona, and save and quit. Then immediately start a new file. Once you leave Kid Link's house, press the B button and he will get out the Master Sword, holding it upside down.
